The October Executive Board Meeting/Seminar Has Changed to a Virtual Meeting!
At this time, the Executive Committee has decided that the safest thing to do is to cancel the face-to-face Fall Executive Board Meeting/Seminar. We met on 24 August and discussed the 50-person maximum that the hotel decided was in effect along with the safety and health of our members. While the decision on whether to attend or not was up to each person, I am sure that some would have felt it was their job to be there regardless of the health issues. I had two main worries that were keeping me up at night. First, how would I feel if a member came down with COVID by attending the meeting and second, how would cancelling the meeting effect the finances of NYSO DKG. Karen Crumley, in conversations with the staff at the Delta Hotel, was able to reschedule our event at this location to another year and not suffer any financial losses due to a cancellation. Way to go, Karen!!!!!! There is business that needs to be taken care of this fall. We must have a vote on the positions of Executive Secretary, FDF Sales Administrator and Webmaster. We have three wonderful candidates for the positions. Chapter Presidents will receive an email with the ballots and explanation for how to cast your ballot by email in early September. We will be setting up some Zoom sessions to announce the Pi State Achievement Awardee, hold a drawing for the Area Council Benefit baskets, have State Membership Committee Chair Deb Bedard and her Committee make the presentation they have prepared, and possibly have Zoom sessions of some of the workshops that were scheduled. The Finance Committee was going to make a presentation on our State finances and it is possible that it will be zoomed as well. If you have already sent a registration form and check to Registrar Sue Sharon, she will contact you about your preference on shredding or returning it. Planning is just starting!
